I think I can get rid of a lot of the calculations. Again convert the compass bearings to vertices. transform the points so that one of them is at 0,0. Now compare the vertices to all the know patterns (stored as a set of vertices with one point at 0,0). If all the vertices match (or within...

I'm not positive, but I think this will work. Given the compass bearings, you need to calculate out the vertices and the center (so you can sequentially rotate it in small increments throughout the entire 360 degree range and recalculate the vertices) Then calculate standard error between each...

I don't like the idea of a watch with only a 7 day battery life. That being said, it certainly looks cool and is relatively inexpensive.

Anyone that wants a Camaro is merely a person that covets a Corvette in their heart.

I would contend that experience teaching (as opposed to researching and publishing) actually matters. But then my background is from a small private liberal arts college (Willamette University). There were no TA's (The largest class I ever took had less than 30 students) and almost all of the...

The efficiency of a 1200W PS at 13W-40W is supposed to suck. Most PS seem to be at their highest efficiency at 50% max and drop off on both sides. A high efficiency PS will drop off less but nothing will do well at this extreme. You need a low power PS to operate efficiently at 13W-40W.

If people here are trying to defend it as a normal variation of the human condition, then like the Tea Party it must be that I'm stupid and ignorant.

Am I just stupid, or have you, and them, graduated to genius because you are now officially beyond my comprehension. My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic seems to be many levels beyond the generic of liking unicorns and beyond even that to perhaps the land of psychosis. Not trying to be...

I looked up a formula-vee. Really, you believe that that is competative to the Atom? They are limited to a 40HP Voltswagen Beetle engine and transmission. They allow them to be modified, but still you will never be able to modify it enough to get 300HP...

Yeah, but at $160K, I'd go for the old one at $30K-$40K even though it is significantly slower (2.3 seconds for the 0-60 vs. 2.8 seconds for the 0-60). You really are much closer to "super car" pricing even though you aren't quite at the $500K-$1M yet. I agree that that 1/2 second will really...

Sat. Matinee's are kiddie days. If you respect the movie, pick another time unless you have some children to take with you for then it doesn't matter.

If you want to race, on a track, get yourself an Ariel Atom. Top gear's review of the Atom. Pretty much a motor in a roll cage. Really quite inexpensive for the performance level at $30,000-$40,000. but then it isn't a Mustang and you wont get that fabulous stereo. Imagine putting That Ford...

This is the Mustang that you really should have reviewed: Shelby GT500 Mustang. You reviewed the bottom-end wimp Mustang and complained of lack of torque. Well, this one won't be torqueless with 662HP and 631 Lb-Ft of torque. It will cost a bit more though and isn't likely to be avail from Hertz

When I was younger, I bicycled a lot and had several bicycles stolen. I had one stolen, when I was in a park reading right beside it. Someone just walked up and got on and rode off, before I could stop him. Next, I had one locked up on a bike rack while I was in a mall. I came out to find...
